While there's no atmospheric shift, no intensification of the Calling, there is a palpable and indeed a far more literal shift:

The stone figure at the base of the statue has turned away from the city. The denizens of the streets have rotated to quail under the shadow of the stooping god. And with a great silent shudder, the peak of the brass city begins to rise.

Built on a tilting table, the great city rolls forward on its axis. If allowed to proceed, it will eventually turn fully over and complete the broken walkway.

—But right this second a huge, seemingly bottomless chasm opens beneath the table as it turns. And there, at the place where the peak of the city once sat flush with Dumat's mural, a doorway leading deeper into the temple is slowly being revealed.

As the ancient table reaches its vertical zenith, something shudders ominously.
